| DERBY ZANZIBAR PARTY, 27th of June, IMAGES AND COMMENTS Posted: 6/27/2008 8:54:25 PM | Hi partygoers
Home safe and sound after yet another great night in Derby. Though I'm not sure if it's because of the Meldrew-type character I am, I have to say I actually prefer it when we see less than a hundred folks in attendance. Seriously!
In my opinion, playing the numbers game is merely for those to whom it matters, and I'm certainly not one of them. Never have been, never will be. And I truly believe the majority of you lovely people will have noticed an even friendlier atmosphere than usual, if that's possible in our already friendly Derby. I'm also sure you'll have witnessed for your good selves that the POF party spirit is certainly not dampened by a modest turnout.
On the contrary, the enjoyment factor and collective interaction was clearly enhanced for everyone, with the icing on the cake being arguably the highest number of pair-offs that I've seen at any POF party to date.
It was simply great to see so many ladies and gentlemen hooking up; testament to the likelihood that the smaller attendance pays optimum dividends when it comes to cupid's intervention and the potential for budding romance. In these respects, our party had a fantastic feel about it this evening and I'd personally like to thank each and every one of you for contributing to the atmosphere by signing up and attending. In my experience, you truly are awesome and genuinely lovely people.
Anyway, I've rambled enough for now. It's currently 5.00am GMT, and I'm tired and off to bed. Regarding the photos, as always, they'll follow in due course, which will hopefully mean I'll have 'em uploaded come Sunday evening.
Until then, bless you all and regards
BB.

It cant'seriously be morning already can it, where did the night go? who stole it??
Thanks once again to the organisers great job.
Each time I come to one of these do's I meet new friends, the Derby bunch are so warm and friendly. It's also to catch up with `old' friends mind you one person's blood pressure seemed to hit a high while he was `window shopping' LOL.
Anyone still unsure about attending a POF meet, just do it, honesty you will have fun and make some great friends.
Have fun and smileeeeeeeee

BB and Mish for organising - and to re-iterate my continued appreciation for the hard work that makes these events possible and makes so many of us feel so good...
Sparkles - my favourite witch - plenty more hugs where those came from! Where'd your hat end up, though?
Shimmers, Singercaz and Lesleyy - made me feel right at at home again - thanks! SingerCaz (again) - thanks for the dancing lessons! Geminii and Bez - really glad you guys made it in from Stoke again - more dancing lessons for me, though must learn to watch Geminii's left hook when I get it wrong!
DerbyMinx - as always a warm welcome and exit - ta!
Not forgetting Groovy (of the kiss-collecting cranium), Tony and the badge-less guys I spoke to in the Telegraph and in Zanzibar's - much as I love the ladies, sometimes we need a little male solidarity!
LeeWR and Supermum - thanks for the pizza - admire your choice of venue to eat it!
Lee mate - hope you reported that naughty klepto who swiped your smokes!
Apologies to anyone I didn't mention!

All 128 of my images have now been uploaded and numbered. Please remember that if you want any pics editing or deleting to mail me or a global moderator directly with the corresponding image number and your request will be met asap.
Special thanks to Misheru, Sparkles and Groovespirit for mucking in again last night.
HUGE thanks to the club and staff again for their hospitality, the initial free drinks and the six bottles of champers.
Thanks again to Terry the DJ. But above all, thanks once again to you lovely and warm attendees. Quite simply, without you lot, these events would not take place.
To Natz. Hope you got home okay after 'your adopted father' left you at 3.15 am this morning.
That's it then folks. I'm signing off now to nurse me sore little eyes and hope to be back in a day or two all nice and refreshed.
Regards as always
BB.

| DERBY ZANZIBAR PARTY, 27th of June, IMAGES AND COMMENTS Posted: 6/29/2008 5:23:42 AM | Well am now back at home and my own pc. And yet another very enjoyable evening was had by Pinballrik and myself in the company of great people and friends. I totally agree with BB's opening post. the smaller the party the better the chance for more interaction between the male and female members and their guests. Even we noticed there were more members coupling off and getting to know each other a little better. I also noticed that even BB managed to chat more this time between his photo shoots. But i did feel quite sorry for our darling Sparkles who was suffering with a poorly throat. Hope you're feeling much better soon honey But it was great to see you and Misheru again and you both looked gorgeous in your costumes.and not forgetting the lovely KLH. Haven't seen you for a couple of parties. was begining to think we'd lost you. but you were looking great. Was also great to see the usual crowd again too:- Barberella and GrooveSpirit, Derbyminx, Clareelope,HazelRose, St Rob, Asupermum and ChynaBlu. Hopefully we'll get chance to say hi to a few more people next time. Hope the 2 birthday girls enjoyed their evening. IF there's anyone i've missed out, particularly any newbies i've said hi to in passing, please forgive me but i'm crap at remembering names first time round . hope you all had a great night though and hopefully catch up with you next time round. Love Suzi xxxx | |

| DERBY ZANZIBAR PARTY, 27th of June, IMAGES AND COMMENTS Posted: 6/29/2008 2:05:36 PM | Slightly late in posting but another great night in Derby. Gotta agree with Barbelbil's opening post as well, I'm not sure what the final count was, but the lower turnout on the night might actually have contributed towards it being a better party! So many people (myself included) do actually enjoy the friendly atmosphere and chance to chat that you get at the 'mini-meets', and this event was very much imbued with that kind of atmosphere.....very relaxed and enjoyable event, lots of people making new friends, and even a bit of romantic stuff going on I've been led to believe!
Big shouts go out to Barbelbil for organising it, the management for being so good to us again, and to Sparkles and Misheru for being pretty amazing at looking after the newbies. Also big hugs to the lovely Barberella, just wouldn't be the same without you there!
The meet addicts were there in good numbers.....Derbyminx, A Supermum, Anyjoy, Chrise68 and daughter in fab fancy dress, Clareelope, DerbrA09, DJDazz, Flirtastic, Klh123, Ladyjane10, MarieX and mates, Pinballrik & Pisces Baby, Rainy 24, Shimmers 4u and St Rob to name but a few.
Really good to have two great fun newbies with birthdays at the event, the fab Amanibaby (thanks for the chat) and party girl Natz86. Hope that you both enjoyed yourselves, made some good new friends, and that we'll see you both at a meet again soon. Also lovely to chat to Cheekyden and Jacqui Moore as well.
Hope that everyone had a great night and that some of you can make it over to Nottingham for the party at Halo on the 5th July  | |

| DERBY ZANZIBAR PARTY, 27th of June, IMAGES AND COMMENTS Posted: 6/30/2008 5:29:32 AM | Hi everybody. I'm going to keep this short as it's my third attempt (pc problems at home mean I'm having to do this from work). Well we were all treated to another great night out and hopefully some of the coupling' we noticed taking place will lead to longer term relationships for those involved! A big thanks to all the usual suspects for making the night so enjoyable despite (because of!?) the lower numbers in evidence. Thank you to everybody for your thoughts and best wishes about my recent bone marrow blood cell donation - further information for those interested can be found in the First Date section of my profile. Look forward to seeing you all again soon but the next party will probably clash with a holiday to Butlins! | |

| DERBY ZANZIBAR PARTY, 27th of June, IMAGES AND COMMENTS Posted: 7/13/2008 4:01:28 AM | Hi All
In chronological order, here are three upcoming local events in which you may be interested. Please read the opening post of the promotional event threads for all relevant details and note that the party signup button is located just above the top row of attendees’ photos. Thank you.
SOUTH NORMANTON, BOUNDARY PUB. If you fancy an alternative daytime meet to those below, you may be interested in the Derby/Notts BBQ & Profile Photo Event, on SUNDAY the 20th of JULY, which, as I post, is exactly a week today. The first one held in June proved to be very popular and most enjoyable. Your direct link for this event thread is:
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts10293842.aspx
DERBY ZANZIBAR, FRIDAY the 15th of August. Usual Disco format and times apply, with the added and equally free opportunity to meet the members of the once-popular band East 17. The group will be performing in the club on the night and any POF member or guest interested in watching them will be given the opportunity to do so completely free of the usual £5.00 per head charge. Event details for the 15th of August are available to view by clicking on the highlighted and underlined link below:
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts10371740.aspx
NOTTINGHAM HALO Nightclub on SATURDAY August the 23rd. Our second disco-type event at the venue promises to be even more special than the first, none the least because August is the official month during which many POF events are taking place in celebration of the website’s 5th year anniversary. Simply click below to read the blurb and take note of how to sign up.

So, hope to see many of you in attendance soon.
Thanks and regards
